Homemade lollipops
Description
The recipe won't take much time. While cooking the syrup, it's important not to miss the moment when it starts changing color, so keep stirring and watch its consistency. After pouring it into spoons, wait until the temperature allows your fingers to tolerate the hot syrup before rolling into balls. If the mixture thickens in the saucepan, gently reheat it, then pour into spoons—the properties won't change. Serve chilled.

For the sticks, I used wooden skewers, which I broke into several pieces. Insert the sticks into the candy balls and let them dry in an upright position.
